with 14.3 million overnight visitors last year. Toronto set new tourism records last year including the most international visits
ever at 1.42 million, and saw growth from the U.S. market for the 4

"It's been a privilege to be part of Tourism Toronto's Board
leadership and I'm truly excited to move into a more hands-on role in such a
rapidly evolving industry," said Bélanger. "We are building on a
successful foundation and now have the opportunity to connect the tourism
business to more partners and related sectors of the economy and drive growth
in the years ahead. Our destination is riding a wave of momentum and moving up
the must-see list for travellers around the world. We have an opportunity now
to capitalize on that wave and further entrench the
Toronto region as a place to visit, to meet and then to come back and visit
again."
